SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS

Press ON/OFF.  0 appears on the display.  When the answer indicator is
lit, the TAD is set to answer calls.

NOTES:  If a battery is not installed or is weak, the display shows LO.

        If you have set the TAD not to answer calls, you can use a remote
        phone to set the TAD to answer calls.  See "Remote Answer-On."

SETTING THE TAD TO RECORD MESSAGES

For a Single User

After the TAD answers a call, the out going announcement plays and the TAD
sounds a beep.  Then the caller can leave a message in the general message
box.  After the call is over (on the set message length elapses), the TAD
beeps, stops recording, adds the date/time stamp, and resets to answer the
next call.

NOTES:  Many local phone companies use calling party control (CPC) to
        signal that the caller has hung up.  Your TAD can recognize a CPC
        signal and release the line.  If the TAD records phone company
        messages or dial tones, your local phone company probably does not
        use CPC.

        When the caller hangs up, the maximum message length is reached,
        or there are more than 7 seconds of silence, the TAD hangs up and
        resets to answer the next call.

        If the TAD reaches 100 percent full while a caller is leaving a
        message, the TAD plays the memory full announcement and hangs up
        FU (filled up) flashes on the display.

        If the TAD answers when the memory is full, it plays the memory
        full announcement and beeps, waits 7 seconds for any remote
        operation commands (see "Using Remote Operation Commands") then
        hangs up.  The TAD cannot record additional messages until you
        delete some of the old ones.

Using the Mailbox Feature

The TAD is preset to record calls for a single user; however, the mailbox
feature allows you to set up four separate, private mailboxes in addition
to the general message mailbox.  Callers can leave messages in mailboxes
for specific individuals or departments or general messages for everyone
to hear.

Follow these steps to turn on the mailbox feature.

1.  Press PGM/DEL.  The answer indicator flashes.

2.  Press ANNOUNCE.

3.  Press 1.  The TAD beeps twice and is set for mailbox operation.

NOTE:  If you have not recorded an outgoing announcement, the TAD says
       Press OGM to record a new outgoing message for mailbox.  The
       answer indicator stops flashing and the TAD beeps twice.

When the mailbox feature is turned on, after the TAD answers a call, the
outgoing announcement plays and the TAD sounds a beep.  Within 7 seconds,
the caller must enter the desired mailbox number.  If no mailbox number is
entered, the TAD records the message in the general message area.

announcements they want to hear.  Each announcement can be up to either 1
or 3 minutes (see "Setting the Message Length").

       record calls using the remote commands as described in "Remote

    the number of the announcement in Step 2.
